[AT] Can you hear me now?

I can understand that concern. I didn't think about fire and EMS personnel and their equipment. There was a topic of redundancy earlier in aircraft.

The small volunteer departments and municipalities would have a hard time funding specialty rigs with redundancy since it's not mainstream in the market.

This is one of the BIG things currently with fire equipment. With most
of the engine makers and control systems going to electronics and having
no mechanical back-up a failure could be deadly.
I for one do not like the idea of having a computer in command.
Having a system that could shut down because a sensor fails or a wire
breaks while I'm inside a burning building just doesn't seem like a good
idea.
